Mares prefer privacy at foaling time. If possible, mares will delay birth until human observers are not around. Mares generally foal at night. One study, for example, indicated that approximately 80 percent of foals were born between midnight and 6 a.m.
One to two weeks before the EFD, a clean place for the mare to foal should be prepared. Once it is ready the mare should be moved there immediately so that she has time to become familiar and comfortable with her new surroundings. If the foaling area is to be a stall it is preferable for the measurements to be 16X16.
